Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. Williams 1962 | Subelliptical and unequally biconvex Glyptorthis with the brachial valve less than threequarters as long as wide; incipient dorsal sulcus rarely persisting throughout adult growth and most commonly replaced by a narrow, rounded fold embracing the costellae of sector I with a corresponding median sulcus in the pedicle valve; ornamentation consisting of 14-20 costae with well-developed internal secondary costellae and rare external secondaries and tertiaries, concentric lamellae conspicuous, varying from 2 to 4, but most commonly 3, per millimetre at the 5 mm. growth-stage: ventral muscle-scar subtriangular to cordate, slightly longer than wide and extending antero-medianly for about two-fifths the length of the pedicle valve. |
